WR Julio Jones, Retired (2 Viewers)

[Slapdash]

Finally

 

[Weebs210]

This is why you have to start him every week. I could use a few more this game.

Always start your studs

 

[The Frankman]

Atlanta's gameplan this week is to relentlessly target Julio Jones it seems. 7-10/162/2 and we are 2 minutes into the 3rd. Also took an end-around for a 15-yard run.

Always start your studs

I'm not a believer in that, but there was no reason to sit him IMHO. It was another cake matchup.

You guys are all welcome.

Should they have any other game plan?  

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Should they have any other game plan?  

I mean, they shouldn't, but it seemed like sarkisian was too drunk all year to realize it.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Sorry, cheapshot

 

[The Frankman]

Holy crap Jones is getting targeted on routes I haven't seem him get all year. Quick slants, quick outs, bunch blocking formations... Jones is headed for 20 targets at this rate.

 

[Sebowski]

Sorry, cheapshot

All good. I've been drunk all year too.

 

[The Frankman]

JESUS CHRIST JULIO STAPH IT.

THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD...

 

[Andrew74]

Beat ‘em Julio

 

[Long Ball Larry]

This is why we own him, gents.  This is why.

 

[Weebs210]

Un mas?

 

[Andrew74]

Hopefully he keeps this up ROS.

DANCE DANCE DANCE THE JULIO

Julio Jones caught 12-of-15 targets for 253 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' Week 12 win over the Bucs, adding a 15-yard rush.

Jones entered Week 12 with just one touchdown and zero 120-yard games. The rushing attempt was his first of the season. With the Bucs giving Jones a laughable amount of cushion, he ripped seams in their "defense" all day. Touchdown No. 1 was a 51-yard bomb delivered by Mohmamed Sanu. Sanu took a wild cat snap, faked a handoff and calmly delivered a rainbow to a tightly-covered Jones. Score No. 2 was a 25-yarder from Matt Ryan where Jones did most of the work, using fancy footwork to dive for the pylon. Amazingly, the 253 yards receiving were only the third most of Jones' career. He gets Xavier Rhodes and the Vikings for Week 13.

 

[Andrew74]

The fact that 253 yards is only his 3rd highest receiving total is utterly ridiculous (and awesome).  

 

[BigTex]

He will be covered by the X-Man next week I’m not sure what I’m going to do. Allen, Cooks and Hopkins might be the way to go next week.

I brought this up this thread or year or 2 back. Julio Jones doesn't have bad matchups. His opponents do.

He was performing better a year or 2 ago.

[Wise Old Owl]

Maybe hes just finally healthy?

 

[zed2283]

Glad I started Kupp over this bum.

 

[PhantomJB]

Looks like Lattimore on Julio tonight...anyone know how healthy Lattimore's ankle is?

 

[Faust]

Eagles' cornerbacks aren't about to back down from Julio Jones

 

[kOOk]

No idea why the didn't double team him down the stretch.  Stupid.

And no idea how he didn't catch that ball.  Love him but he choked.

That did look like it went right thru his hands.

 

[gump]

And no idea how he didn't catch that ball.  Love him but he choked.

You have no idea how he didn’t come down with a playground jump ball after slipping while covered like a blanket?

 

[kOOk]

You have no idea how he didn’t come down with a playground jump ball after slipping while covered like a blanket?

If it were your playground, sure. 

But tell us, what does slipping have to do with the ball going through his hands?  

 

[Pip's Invitation]

There’s a good chance his feet would not have come down in bounds if he did catch it.

 

[kOOk]

There’s a good chance his feet would not have come down in bounds if he did catch it.

Disagree.  Once he's got the ball, he would've made an attempt to stay inbounds, like all great/smart receivers do.  

He was obviously coming down without the ball, so there was no reason for him to try and come down inbounds.

Julio Jones just made his Twitter account private, unfollowed everyone from the Falcons organization, and deleted all Falcons pictures from his account except his profile pic.

Uh... that can't be good.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Please, Julio you and Matt need to go somewhere else outside the NFCS.

Um.....really??

Um.....really?? 

You think Julio would be more valuable as a fantasy asset on another team?

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

no, I'm not going to over react to some social media non-sense though. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

You think Julio would be more valuable as a fantasy asset on another team?

Just about anywhere else, yes. 3 tds for a guy like Jones is inexcusable.

How does he get to Carolina?

It could be a lot worse than Atlanta though.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

San Fran would make a lot of sense.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

But let’s face it this is likely him just getting off social media. Good move, really.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

That leaves me CAR, SFO, and LAR sweet!

I don't think he will be traded but SFO would make sense for obvious reasons. As an owner, I'd love that location for sure.

I think the Giants might be the only team that could fit Julio in under the cap. 

 

[cloppbeast]

I think the Giants might be the only team that could fit Julio in under the cap. 

Which would all but guarantee Beckham's departure. 

 

[Jacksonke1]

3tds is optically low for his talent, and he should be a bigger red zone target.......but Julio didn't exactly help himself on a few this deep balls year if I remember correctly

Falcons GM downplays Julio Jones' absence, social media activity

Julio Jones - WR - Falcons

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed Julio Jones is not expected to attend voluntary OTAs next week.

The Falcons aren't overly concerned as Jones was absent for most of OTAs while vacationing in China last offseason. Jones, who made headlines earlier this offseason when he deleted pictures of the Falcons from his social media, is reportedly looking for a "correction or update" to his current deal. Rapoport believes Jones has built up enough goodwill within the organization for the Falcons to accommodate him. The 29-year-old is due a reasonable $10.5 million salary in 2018.
